Northeast Junior Triathlon Development Series

Standings Update after Stage 7- The Crabman

Matt — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 02:56:38 +0000

The standings at the top remain the same- Spring and Rice both still lead, but there are a lot of athletes are lining up behind them ready to make their moves. We had changes in both the top 3 men’s and women’s standings with Taylor Peterson and Sonja Kent moving into 3rd position.

The men’s division has turned into a 4 man race with only 50 points separating 1st from 4th, and only 10 points separating 2nd from 4th.

The women’s division has 8 athletes with a mathematical chance to win the series title with 55 points separating 2nd through 5th.

Like last year we are looking at a race to the finish, but there are still a lot of points up for grabs between the next stage at Cayauga, bonus points at Timberman and of course the series finale at the Fireman in West Kennebunk where the points are doubled and last year the top 6 finishers over all were junior men and 4 of the top 10 overall female finishers were juniors. Another exciting finish is coming!

The Crabman featured 25 U19 athletes in it’s inaugural season in the NE Series and didn’t disappoint. 6 juniors finished in the top 25 overall including both Austen Novis who finished 2nd overall and his sister Hailey who finished 2nd overall female. Hailey has joined a big group of 8 female juniors who are in contention now for the series title. On the men’s side Austen finished under 1 hour missing the top overall spot by only 12 seconds.

Sorry for the delay in the updated standings. I was away at the Northeast Junior Skills Camp at Wheaton College. That story and photos are upcoming! Rachel Spring added to her point total and extended her lead over Emily Doherty with another podium finish, taking 3rd at Mossman. Trevor Heller moved closer to Grant Rice taking the U19 men’s title. The series continues at a breakneck pace as any of seven U19 females and 5 U19 are within striking distance of the series title including the men’s defending champion Steve Wright.

Many of these athletes will be heading out to San Diego for the Junior Elite National Championship, then coming back to race in the Timberman for bonus points and of course the Series Finale, The Fireman where the points are doubled.

Matt — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 19:44:14 +0000

It was a big day for the juniors at Cohasset. Steve Wright finished just 6 seconds ahead of Grant Rice to win the U19 men’s division and Abby Levene dominated the U19 females, winning by just over 12 minutes. Rice and Rachel Spring both added to their overall series lead- Spring by finishing 4th in the division. The updated series standings and the full Junior results will be posted tomorrow.

38 Juniors to Compete in Cohasset

Matt — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 20:10:49 +0000

There is going to be a big shift in the standings as most of the top junior males and females will be competing this weekend. This race is a Bonus Point race where the athletes will receive 1 1/2 times the normal point values for the race. The juniors will be first out as they are throughout the series so look for fast swims and transitions. Of note, Grant Rice will be competing in Montreal at the Can-Am Challenge then driving back for this race. Grant currently has the series lead as does Rachel Spring and both are competing this weekend. High finishes here could put the pressure on the other athletes to catch up. Results and standings will be updated shortly after the race.

Results from LI Gold Coast!
